The sanctuary of Athena was the main sanctuary of the polis Priene. It is one of the few sanctuaries of its era situated inside a city and about complete excavated and preserved. Subject of the thesis are on the one side the three secondary buildings: the altar, the stoa and the propylon. They are presented with all found remains, reconstructed in detail and investigated about their building phases, datation and design. The final chapter examines the allover composition of the sanctuary. This contains the attempt both to find out the original plan in late classical time and to follow the process of structural changes in every stage of development. This spans over a time of about 350 years beginning with the start to construct the temple in the middle 4th century BCE to its finishing under Augustus or so and the construction of the propylon. «
